Eurovision blar contest

Darcydog · 22nd May 2021, 20:33

We are having a couple of friends round for drinks and having a laugh - it seems like a cross between the Hunger Games broadcasts and amateur night.

I do miss Terry Wogan....

Just watched the Lithuanian entry - which was “I miss you”. Sung in English.

I’m not saying another word.......

Wonder who will come last ?

Just caught the last four or so entries. Of those I've listened to Norway is the favorite for me so far, Netherlands possibly a chance too but politics might decide otherwise lol.

Nil point.

steve-45 · 22nd May 2021, 23:02

Oh Well, last with NIL POINTS !!! ..... what a surprise in this politically driven contest.

Its about time the BBC - with us paying the bill - stopped part funding this UK bashing fiasco !

I want t see Fat Les singing Vindaloo for the next eurovision, at least we will all get a good singalong before we get nil point.

Goes without saying

Of course, if we had won, we'd have been told that it was only possible to write that song once we were outside the EU !

Alternatively, we could have Commonvision.
For the Commonwealth.
You heard it here first.

I love this whole thread, it’s so 2016 all over again.

It is no longer a "Singing" contest, More like who can wear the most bizarre clothes, act in the most ludicrous dance routines and sing in some abject voice.
Example:- Whatever it was with the huge wings on his back

I read an old Guardian article from 2009 on how Terry Wogan told European Broadcaster that the Eurovision Song Contest was “rubbish” and that they must take action against countries voting politically.

It’s always been a joke and we should not withdraw from it - we should have a joke entry and at least have a laugh!!

Trying to make out it is a respected talent show is crazy.

Treat it as a comedy event with a comedic entry would be far better.
